The ruling on one who slanders the Companions
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner from a distant land, the United States, whose name is Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, asks: Is one who slanders the Companions a disbeliever?
Answer:
If he slanders them because of their religion, then he is a disbeliever, because he did not slander their persons, but rather he slandered them because of the religion they carried from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and they strived in its cause. And the general rule is that no one slanders them except out of hatred for the religion that they brought, which they carried from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). And why would he slander them? He is not a contemporary of theirs, nor did he see them, nor did any dispute or anything occur between him and them. He does not slander them except for the sake of their religion. If that is the case, then he is a disbeliever without doubt. Yes.
